The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of different methods of anterior abdominal wall separation on the increasion of the abdominal cavity volume (ACV) for the prevention of compartment sindrome. The effect of Novitsky posterior separation (Transversus Abdominis Release – TAR), Ramirez anterior separation and Ramirez anterior separation with the mobilization of posterior wall rectus sheath (R+MPRS) on increase ACV was studied. The study was conducted on autopsy materials of 30 non-fixed corpses. In the first part of investigation the results of Novitsky operation have been studied (n=10), in the second part – of Ramirez operation (n=10) and in the third part – R+MPRS (n=10). The ACV have been determined before and after surgery and the degree of it’s increasion after each operation have been counted. In Ramiraz's separation the average of ACV before the operation was 3.2±0.2 L, after the operation – 4.06±0.2 L with an average increasion in volume of 27.8±2.6%. In Novitsky operation the average of ACV before the operation was 3.1±0.1 L, after the operation – 3.9±0.1 L, with an average increasion of 24.2±1.7%. In Ramiraz + MPRS the average of ACV before the operation was 3.1±0.08 L, after the operation – 4.7±0.22 L with an average increasion of 49.8±4.6%. The study revealed different effects of the three types seperation of the abdominal wall on increasion the ACV. The operation of Ramiraz+ MPRS has the greatest effect on the increasion the ACV (49.8±4.6). The results were successfully used in the choice of the type of operation in 8 patients with large ventral hernias.

Abstract. The issues of reconstruction of the anterior abdominal wall in patients with median postoperative ventral hernias remain relevant for many years. The paradigm of their treatment is gradually shifting towards functional minimally invasive reconstructions of the anterior abdominal wall. The indications and technical aspects of endoscopic posterior separation surgery are considered. The analysis of 70 transversus abdominis release was carried out. The average age of patients with postoperative ventral hernias was 61,210 years. The median follow-up was 14,28,2 months and the anaesthesia risk was 2,80,5. The mean hernia width was 151,773,7 cm2 and the implant size was 832,9243,3 cm2. In the early postoperative period complications were observed in 7 (10%) patients, including the one with retromuscular hematoma, four with retromuscular space infection and two with superficial vein thrombophlebitis. Late complications were observed in 6 (8,7%) patients, there were persistent seroma (3) and chronic pain (3). No hernia recurrence was detected during this period. Thus, the use of endoscopic abdominal wall separation reduces the risk of local complications compared to similar open surgery. At the same time, there is a low level of hernia recurrence and a satisfactory quality of life. In total there were 70 (100%) transabdominal preperitoneal plastic transversus abdominis release and endoscopic totally extraperitoneal transversus abdominis release operations performed, among them 14 (77,8%) were bilateral transversus abdominis release and 32 (61,5%) were unilateral transversus abdominis release 4 (22,2%) and 20 (38,4%) respectively were transabdominal preperitoneal plastic transversus abdominis release and endoscopic totally extraperitoneal 10 (14,3%) operations with combined access were performed: 3 (16,7%) and 7 (1,5%) respectively transabdominal preperitoneal plastic transversus abdominis release and endoscopic totally extraperitoneal transversus abdominis release. In 13 (18,6%) cases simultaneous operations occurred, including 7 (10%) laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 6 (8,6%) endoscopic inguinal hernioplasty.

The results of surgical treatment of 197 patients with ventral hernias were analyzed, while 104 (52.8%) patients underwent simultaneous operations to correct the surgical pathology of the abdominal cavity organs and the anterior abdominal wall. In 20.1% of patients, the simultaneous stage of the operation was performed using a separate minilaparotomic approach. Tension alloplasty methods were performed in 48.2%, non-tension methods - in 51.8%, while 26.4% of patients underwent dermatolipidectomy. The study of the level of stress hormones during simultaneous operations on the abdominal cavity and abdominal wall organs in patients with ventral hernia showed that the degree of surgical aggression in most cases was influenced by the "tension" method of plasty of the anterior abdominal wall and the duration of the operation. Performing the stage of the operation to correct the pathology of the abdominal organs did not significantly affect the level of stress hormones.

The article analyzes the results of electromyography of the abdominal muscles in 189 patients with median postoperative hernia of the anterior abdominal wall of different sizes before and after the combined methods of hernioplasty, including considering the level of connective tissue failure. In the preoperative period, electromyography was performed in 69 (36,6%), after combined hernioplasty, 120 (63,4%) patients. The patients were divided into a group of 161 (85,1%) patients with clinically significant or histologically confirmed connective tissue insufficiency and into a group of 28 (14,9%) patients without it. The distribution of patients in the examination groups was carried out using an original method of assessing the degree of deviation of collagen fibers from the projection of the Langer lines in microscopic specimens of the skin areas excised during the operation and based on the results of a retrospective analysis of case histories with determination of the intraoperative adhesions of the adhesions in the abdominal cavity or hernial sac. In the formed groups, we studied the amplitude, frequency, front and area of electromyograms obtained from the direct and lateral muscles of the anterior abdominal wall. It was found that in patients with median postoperative hernias, mesenchymal dysplasia was the main reason for the decrease in functional activity and the imbalance of forces between the direct and lateral abdominal muscles. Optimal restoration of electroactivity of the abdominal muscles after combined hernioplasty occurred among patients without clinically significant connective tissue insufficiency. When reaching a giant postoperative hernia of gigantic size in patients with a clinically significant level of connective tissue dysplasia, the functioning of the abdominal muscles decreased by 26%, and in patients without it only by 15%. The pathology of collagen in skin grafts excised during surgery was detected in 91,5% of patients with mid-incisional hernias.

Background: Loss of continuity of abdominal wall significantly affects the functions of protection of viscera, postural stabilization, and maintenance of intra-abdominal pressure. The newer understanding of abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) aims at restoring abdominal wall anatomy and function, instead of simply patching the defect. We want to showcase the changing trends and results in hernia repair at a Medical Institution.Methods: This is an observational retrospective study conducted in RRMCH, Bengaluru from July 2018-2019 including all patients with ventral hernia undergoing the specified hernia repairs.Results: A total of 54 patients with ventral hernias undergoing routine hernia repairs/AWR surgeries were retrospectively analysed. The overall mean age was 46.62±12.44 year. Majority subjects were females (n=37; 68.5%), and overweight (Mean BMI=28.07±3.01/m2). 14 patients (25.92%), all males, had history of tobacco consumption. There were 38 (70.37%) primary ventral hernias and 7 recurrent hernias. Overall mean defect size was 10.2±0.4 cm. Most frequently performed was open retro rectus Hernioplasty (n=18; 33.33%), followed by open Preperitoneal Hernioplasty (n=17; 31.48%), laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) (n=16; 29.62%) and open transversus abdominis release (TAR) (n=3; 5.5%). On statistical analysis, it was found that Open repairs had higher post-operative pain (p=0.0005), longer hospitalization (p=0.0002) and higher incidence of surgical site events (p=0.0134) when compared to Laparoscopic repairs.Conclusion: As known already, minimally invasive techniques of hernia surgeries are shown to have acceptable outcomes when compared to radical open surgeries. Newer techniques of AWR are being employed to routine cases in larger numbers, and not just for complex reconstruction, at most centres with acceptable outcomes.

Chapter 9 discusses truncal peripheral nerve blocks, which are utilized for supplemental analgesia for abdominal surgeries by providing local anesthesia to the anterior abdominal wall. These blocks are adjuvants because they will not block visceral pain. Unilateral analgesia to the skin, muscles, and parietal peritoneum of the abdominal wall is achieved. The transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) reliably provides analgesia to the lower abdominal wall in the T10–L1 distribution. Rectus sheath blocks anesthetize the terminal branches of the lower thoracic intercostal nerves and provide midline analgesia from the xiphoid process to the umbilicus. Surgical indications for TAP blocks include laparotomies, laparoscopies, inguinal hernia repairs, and appendectomies. Rectus sheath block indications include midline surgeries such as single-port appendectomies and umbilical hernia repairs.
